The final VPR debate of the season is an evening debate between the candidates for Lieutenant Governor on Tuesday, October 28, 7-8:30 p.m. in Colchester. Bob Kinzel and Jane Lindholm will moderate a debate between Phil Scott (R), Dean Corren (P/D), and Marina Brown (LU).

For the Lieutenant Governor debate, Vermonters are encouraged to submit questions of the candidates in advance. Questions can be recorded by calling at (802) 552-3425, or using the voice memo feature on a smart phone and sending the file to vermontedition@vpr.net.

VPR held a debate for Governor in September. Audio and extensive reporting and fact-checking of candidates’ statements in that debate are at VPR.net.

All five remaining debates will air statewide on the stations of Vermont Public Radio and at VPR.net. All major party candidates were invited to participate.

“For many of these races, VPR’s debates are the only time that voters will hear the candidates hash out issues face-to-face,” said Patti Daniels, producer of VPR’s election debates. “Statewide elected officers wield power, and voters can rely on these debates to help them make informed choices when they vote.”

VPR News will provide Twitter updates throughout the debates @vprnet using the hashtag #VPRnews. Audio of the debates will be available at VPR.net after the broadcast concludes.

Media access at the debate sites is limited, but members of the press are asked to contact Daniels for details, pdaniels@vpr.net or 802-654-4330.
